Razor and Blade Notes - Timeless - Stainless Steel .68 - Open Comb ::: Gillette - Nacet (M) (569 uses):
Same: First pass has some very light tugginess to it. But no irritation that lasts longer than a little tuggy stroke. Latter passes feel fine and give a reasonably close shave. 5 pretty quick passes.

Razor and Blade Performance/Comfort Rating: 2 out of 5 (Okay)

Soap Notes - Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag (2024a):

A manly scent I enjoy!

Scent: The awesome gasoliney leathery woody smokiness

I just love all the aspects of this scent!

Scent Strength: 6/10, nicely present during shaving.

Lather: 12 swirl load gave me just the right amount.

Nice, hydrated lather, with minimal waste.

Hydration: Perfect (for me)
= 6 passes of lather

Bowl: Roger Quintero 3D Printed Bowl
I use the XL version of this bowl.

Awesome as usual. soft and plush.

*Shave Quality*
During the Shave Feel:
Cheeks: Felt blade but comfortable

After the Shave Closeness:
Cheeks: Close Shave
Neck: Several hairs are showing some tip length (still a pretty good shave)

I'm gradually adding answers to frequent questions here: http://www.sugardaddyshaves.com

Wetshaving is the age-old shaving method where you create a lather from a soap or cream, usually with a brush. And these days, we also usually mean using a safety razor (aka double edge or DE) or single edge or straight razor to remove the hair. We often enjoy less irritated skin, healthier skin, more enjoyable shaves, and often closer shaves than those who use a multi-bladed cartridge and canned shaving foam.

(Austere August is a period when some shavers, usually from the wetshaving subreddit, like to stick with one soap or even up to one whole set of gear, for the whole month of August.)
